Resurrection Window or Noli Me Tangere Based on a painting by Florentine Renaissance artist, Lorenzo deCredi, the window shows Mary Magdalene returning to the empty tomb and mistaking the risen Christ for a gardener. He holds a hoe in his right hand. When she then recognizes Him and reaches out, he tells her, "Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the father," and sends her to tell the disciples. Thelandscape features a palm tree, a symbol of victory over death, and Jerusalem is suggested in thebackground. Given by Charlotte Sherman Watson in memory of her husband, Stephen van Renssalaer Watson, a vestryman of the old Trinity church.
